| contents | Aggregated battery energy storage systems (BESS) enable large fleets of heterogeneous battery elements to participate in system-level optimization and electricity markets. Scheduling each element independently is computationally impractical at scale. While many aggregate battery models rely on convex relaxations, they often ignore element complementarity constraints, leading to dispatch solutions that may be infeasible when implemented on individual battery elements. This paper develops a realizable composite battery model for parameter-heterogeneous BESS fleets that guarantees feasibility at the element-level while preserving computational tractability. We derive simple linear conditions under which aggregate charging and discharging trajectories can be safely disaggregated while respecting individual power limits, energy limits, and complementarity constraints under a priority-based controller. Numerical experiments in a unit-commitment setting demonstrate that the proposed realizable composite battery formulation produces feasible dispatch solutions. Solve times are effectively independent of system size, unlike micro-model mixed-integer formulations. Solutions obtained from the proposed formulation converge to the optimal benchmark as control granularity is refined. Additional studies illustrate the robustness of the framework to moderate violations of key modeling assumptions, including heterogeneous power-to-energy ratios. |
